Asia's Tsunami

In the wake of the Asia Tsunami that killed nearly 150,000 people it has to come to my memory that in the Bible it was stated that near the end their will be wars, rumors of war, famine, earthquakes, etc. All this have always been happening on the earth but now it seems more rampant and more devasting. It is almost in-comprehendable that so many people could be killed in the matter of minutes. The same date Dec. 26, 2004 the year before, Dec. 26, 2003, over 40,000 people were killed in Iran from a earthquake. The signs are so vivid, i must say.
